Home births would make a fine addition to the eye rolling thread.

If your goal is natural childbirth, your best bet is to avoid a hospital

Like to have a natural childbirth, your best bet is to labor outside of the hospital for as long as possible because when you are checked in you’re basically bed ridden which isn’t good too keep the labor going.

WTF is “natural childbirth”? Just crap one out in a field by yourself without bottled water or support or whatever?

yla, are you 100% on the at home thing?
i just can’t imagine deciding to put mom and baby at any additional risk that’s not already inherent in pregnancy

If my 2nd was a home birth I would 100% have had a dead baby & 50/50 a dead wife.

I should say, my wife DID NOT want c section (scared to death)

So natural was the best shot to avoid c section

is there an upside to any of these things mentioned over like a modern hospital? again, not judging just confused AF.

Allegedly each intervention increases chances for complications.

So the best way for healthy mom, healthy baby is no drugs/natural

the best way for healthy mom/baby is to have them both surrounded by competent physicians and equipment ready to handle any of the bazillion things that go wrong during childbirth

I’m not trying to be judgy & I know I’m my personal experience greatly biases me, but within 30 seconds we went from 100% normal, routine pregnancy to life or death for my wife & daughter if we didn’t get her out immediately. Want a natural birth, I get that. I get it’s tough when most OB/GYNs are part of groups where you get whoever is on call at the hospital & not your doctor. If you’re insistent on a natural birth, find a doctor that will do it for you in a hospital with a staffed & ready surgical facility.

Sorry everyone is being mean to you, yla. No judgement over here.

Also, speaking of kids, we went to Sky Zone for the first time in our lives, and it was a rough ridin' blast! That place is crazy fun. Making dunks off trampolines… yes, plz!

SD I had similar asthma (trips to the horse pistol, breathing treatments, meds, steroids, you name it) and it gets better with age. I have flare ups during seasonal changes but other than that I'm good. Hang in there bud.

We had 1 home birth. Mrs CF3 had already had a few healthy births and was low risk, but I get the hesitation. I'm not sure if I would do that again but she was the one who made the call. It was amazing afterwards to be home and not in the horse pistol for those first few days.

I think we can all agree that avoiding the horse pistol is the right course of action.

yeah, I can see the draw there I guess. I personally very much appreciated being surrounded by doctors and nurses who had seen and done everything a million times while I had only experienced it 0 or 1 times. also we had some complications (not as serious as those mentioned already) that required some intervention more than just the usual to get 1 of our 2 kids out of there.
